Compare sources responsibly
Use AI to help you compare what different sources say β while keeping you in charge of judging what's reliable.
What you'll make
A short comparison of 2β3 sources on one question.
Outcome
A clearer view of where sources agree, differ, and why.
Before you start

- 2
Ask for a comparison
"Compare what these sources say about ___. Note where they agree and disagree."

Write your judgement
In your own words, say which you trust more and why.
